Underground Atlanta will be in stores 9.1.09. Be a Grind Time supporter. For more detailed info, fix your gaze upon the press release below.
“Killer Mike follows up his critically acclaimed I Pledge Allegiance To The Grind II with another ambitious project titled Underground Atlanta.
After participating in MTV’s signature series, My Block: Atlanta and taking the historical photo – “Great Day In Atlanta” with most of the cities’ hip hop talent present, Mike decided he needed to connect all these artists together again and feature them on one album. The idea of Underground Atlanta was born.
Atlanta is known for its hyped underground music scene and its diverse sound that includes Crunk, Snap & Pop and Trap Music. Mike enlisted a notable group of artists, some who are originators of this music, to be featured on the album. They include: Gucci Mane, OJ da Juice Man, Pastor Troy, Princess of Crime Mob, Yung Ralph, Big Kuntry King, Young Dro, T.I., Stat Quo, Bobby Creekwater, Da Bill Collector, Dem Getaway Boyz with appearances from fellow Southern rappers SL Jones, Scar and Juvenille. The album also boasts an appearance from UGK, who obviously aren’t from the Atlanta Underground but appear on a star studded remix that fans will glady give Mike a pass on. Most of the tracks on the album were produced by DMG Music Group (B-Don, Leno and Young Ced). Mike wants his fans to have as much fun listening to the album as he had making it, “This is an Atlanta record!!! There is not just one type of Atlanta artist featured. This record is the ATL experience, welcome to Atlanta baby 4 REAL!”
Underground Atlanta precedes Killer Mike’s as-yet-untitled Grand Hustle debut, which he is currently recording. Mike sees this album as a way to give back to the Atlanta hip hop scene that gave birth to him and made him the artist he is today.”

Grind Time is the shit right now. I would love to have this ish on signed vinyl, for sure.
I hope I win. Killer Mike is on some next shit.
Real talk, we need a competition for this type of prize. Let me think - describe your experience buying the IPATTG 1 or 2 or Monster. Hell, even talking about the download wait would suffice.
Sounds good to me.
Waking up to my summer roommate’s snoring was the exact cue I needed this Saturday morning to “get up off your ass and get on that grind”. 70 hours this past week at a recently acquired Wall Street bank gave patchy memories of doing anything other than typing, schmoozing and pleading with my then girlfriend that it wouldn’t always be like that. Although she could appreciate the grind (she was at an competitor), she was not up for going 3 or 4 days without seeing me. With that in mind and the hard-ass mattress with the egg cushion (shout out to the college TSSers) on my back, I rolled over and got another 2 hours in.
11 am at this point.
The sixth vibration from the phone under the pillow tells me that a certain woman is not happy with my conduct as of this morning and I knew a Telemundo phone drama could happen at the eighth.
“Hey sunshine…”
“You always forget. I swear one of these days.”
“Well this day sounds like a good one to me for Times Square - what do you think?”
“Nova, if this one of those patented cheap dates of yours, I will just hang out with my [on-and-off again] friend today and talk shit about you (she didn’t say that but, in reality, she didn’t have to).”
“No not at all. Going all out of for my mamacita is first on Saturday list. (disclaimer: my WS wage looked like a McDonald’s check to her’s and she didn’t even have to pay for housing. Shiieet, she needed to surprise my ass with a XBOX 360 or an autographed Nas poster to not have me suspicious about all that extra money).”
“Oh…..ok. See you then. (there was definitely more negotiating at this point with a lot of concessions given on my account but it’s definitely not as interesting)”
1 pm - Time Square
Although a Dallas native, at this point in the summer, I had become a mean New Yorker. And with Wall Street cockiness as well. One time, I put an elbow into this slow-ass Alabama tourist trying to get the best shot of the Diddy ad. I put that on errthang.
So We’re walking and chilling and I’m charming and she ain’t having it. Tight jean gangs keep passing, giving me the side-eye in regards to the obvious WTF fineness of my companion. And I kept returning the WTF grimace regarding the pain that they’re obviously trying to hide. Maybe they were just in pain from finding the erection limitations of their fashion statements. (@mousebudden-level pause)
Until I see the Virgin store.
Two Japanese seizure-causing phrases flash - Killer Mike and ABN.
I almost swung my girl hips into a trash can from the 90 degree turn I made. After a couple of cuss words administered under her breath in Spanish, she’s catching up to me as I “new york” the busy street with deft footwork and “my lawyer already on call” glares. I stroll in and see ads for whatever radio was pumping out at the time but I can’t remember now - that’s how focused I was and how devoid of substance commercial radio has become. I was losing hope as the two CDs, I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind II and It Is What It Is, were definitely not on anything resembling a broadcast spectrum above the Mason Dixon line. But I had read a scripture once that said “Faith is the substance of the things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” My faith/belief in the Grind could overcome any obstacle, even New York bias. I quickly hit the escalator but the mamacita has other intentions and the cruelty of dragging me into the World music section. Now, don’t get me wrong I love all types of music but she was taking shit too far. Mexican boy bands with Guido hair? No doubt she could feel the Chappelle stare emitting from my 5′7″ frame onto her torturous streak. When she throws out the “OMG, I finally found it!”, with her turned, I make a LT around this listening booth and into the Hip-Hop section.
Boy did I know that I was in NY or what. It was almost as if they would rather not sell records at all instead of placing Southern records on their shelves. Now, I’m not saying putting up every Southern youtube sensation at the end of the aisle but when you’re putting obscure, one-album groups from LI that no one had, you’ve got to start coming clean.
I start with the A’s. Akinyele - check. Akon (ughh) - check. ATCQ - check. Where the hell is ABN? They released two weeks ago! It’s a conspiracy and I swear I will Jack Bauer this whole damn aisle to get answers. I switch to K’s and in the ensuing calm after the storm, Killer Mike’s sign, flag and Photoshopped edge up(sorry bruh, only dykes get it like that) (preventive pause) finally gave a young Texan something to smile about. The torturer empty-handed finds me holding the case and gives me the look of wrapping shit up is in my best interest.
Not until I had my revenge.
I break down my dilemma of not seeing the disc (which I was 99% sure wasn’t there - making this all the more funny) that I had wanted ALL summer and how I couldn’t go on without it. Could she go talk to the attendant and ask if they had it? Ice cream and aquariums are sure to follow? Why not me? Niccas give the fugazi to other niccas, you know that. [Tip - if you have a fine ass girl, let her do 98% of the talking while you're out. Better wait times at restaurants, more food inexplicably, random discounts..just trust me. You lead later on that night and she won't have a problem with being the spokesperson of your relationship.]
*side note - imagine a strong willed, Washington Heights, Latin woman that’s been giving me the Telemundo treatment since the morning on the phone. Now, imagine the same woman switching up to perfect English pronunciation and friendly smiles.
“Excuse me, sir.”
“Hey, what’s up? (He gives her the look up and down [Fellas, here's advice from a brother that has had a couple of dimes in the past. Pick your battles. His checking out of your girl's ass only requires a quick stern look that shows ownership and unfuckwittableness]) (He quickly realizes me standing behind her with a smirk and a look of “you really thought that you had a chance. how precious”).
“I’m looking for that new Asshole by Nature CD. Do you guys have that?”
“Huh?”
“Assholes by Nature with (quickly looking back at me for confirmation and transmission of side eye) ZeeRo and Tray.”
“Umm…they sound like a dope ass group actually but I don’t know if we have it on the floor.”
“Could you check in the back? I really want to hear that new Texas rap CD today?”
“Oh, ok.” [unless I had his manager on speed dial, he would've never moved from his post on the post. Power of the fine ass chick. With or without the boyfriend smirk.]
He comes back empty-handed but the joy of getting that story to tell was worth copping on Amazon for a later date of consumption. After making her laugh about it finally, I make it to the counter and make my commitment to the Grind. As we’re walking around the M&Ms store, I act my shoe size and start ripping open the hardcore rap disc to the horror of an onlooking Hannah Montana shirt-wearer/fanatic. Upon opening, I’m greeted by that wonderful figure that definitely shows the goal of this whole “life” exercise. I smooth it out with my already horrified girlfriend by mentioning that the model’s figure is akin to her’s but she ain’t got shit on your bitties. I pull out the booklet and stretch it to see the whole poster and read Mike’s comments. The torturist keeps slapping my hand, saying “Really?”.
There’s nothing in-between with the Grind. “Really?” lies somewhere between 0% and 100%. Like a declaration of not believing a reality that was already happening around you because the comforts of your past experiences can not explain the factual nature of the act. But with the recession bearing down, Wall Street going to hell with me throwing water out as fast possible and her annoying, amazing, demanding fine ass, “Really?” is more displaced than Obama at a white supremacist convention. 100% becomes the new fact and with IPATTG 2, Killer Mike became that soundtrack. To the slowest job market. To the countless job interviews. To the Boston fellowship. To covering all of the job sites everyday. To picking up the CVS retail gig on top of the 50 hours with your Bachelor’s degree. To eating one meal everyday. To the job starting this Thursday.
That’s why I know “God In The Building”, “I Gotcha”, “Bang!”, “Grandma’s House” like I was raised with Killer Mike playing on cleaning Sundays.
That was probably the most memorable CD shopping experience of my entire life and while I suspect I will not have one comparable on 9.1, I’m more hopeful that the Killer’s solo offering coming up will give me the soundtrack to finding my own path through this shitstorm that I’m feeding off of to greater heights.
But this vinyl would definitely be great in the interim :D.
Editor’s note - although I recommended an audition, my entry was not one to inspire more consideration for being bequeathed with the new Killer Mike. I wrote it because it’s one of the best memories of my college years and encapsulates a time and another mindset.
Apologies for the tardiness.
